Ch 45

Everyone had gathered in the
dining hall, but when Legolas and Faramir arrived, the prince abruptly stopped
and tilted his head �Ath, no one is sitting? They are�eating and walking around
in groups?� �Yes master, lord Glorfindel was not jesting when he said it was
going to be a casual gathering� Legolas bit his lip and whispered �Ath, there
are to many for me to differentiate�help me?� �Of course master, I will take
you to the food, then to a table for you to get your bearings alright?� �Nai,
then I should be fine�

The two suddenly startled when
they heard from behind �They seem to have thought of you prince Legolas, the
tables and chairs are all against the walls, and I do not see any holes for you
to fall in�or stone benches for you to curse at� Legolas chuckled �Your still
funny Haldir� The march warden reached forward and caressed the princes face
�And your still beautiful� Legolas blushed and lowered his gaze.

Faramir possessively wrapped
his arm around the princes waist, and Haldir chuckled �Ooo if you could see
your fair adans face right now prince, he looks as though he wishes to run me
through� Legolas smiled �I have no need to, I know the expression, Faramir does
not know you�and you just touched me�affectionately�Ath-nin is very protective
of me, as I am of him�

Haldir nodded to Faramir �You
need not cause yourself early gray hairs on my behalf, I would personally kill
anyone who harmed the prince� Faramir nodded back �Then that would make us
allies I would think� Haldir just smirked and walked away.

A short time later, Glorfindel
grabbed Haldir and pulled him to the balcony �Aye lord Glorfindel wha�� Be
quiet Haldir, and listen to what I have to say, for it pertains to your love
for Legolas, and your possible future� Haldir snorted and rolled his eyes �What
future, he is with that adan� Glorfindel pinched Haldir�s lips shut �I said
shut up and listen�I know you are highly intelligent, but your love for the
prince, and the thought of him with someone else, is causing you�how shall I
put this�short term stupidity�

Haldir opened his mouth, then
paused and sighed �Go on Findel� The seneschal leaned close and whispered
�Faramir makes Legolas happy, and they are good for each other�however�the
reality of the situation is, that edain only live so long Haldir�Faramir is in
his mortal twenty�s�at best, with a healthy life, they only live to about
seventy or so�barring illness or accidents. Think on that before you dismiss a
possible friendship with him. It would ease his mind, knowing that his love
would have you around for support when he passes�which he knows he will
eventually do. He knows you are in love with Legolas�

Haldir furrowed his brow �How
does he know this?� Glorfindel chuckled as he made to leave the balcony �Because
I told him� The march warden stood alone on the balcony for a few more minutes,
took a deep breath, and walked back in to join the others.

A few days later, Haldir
watched as Legolas readied his bow. Elladan smiled �Alright Legolas, are you
ready?� The prince nodded �Nai, go ahead Elladan� Haldir watched as the prince
tilted his head to hear, as the elder twin put an arrow in each of the four
targets. Legolas adjusted his stance �Hannon le Elladan� and let his arrows
fly, with no misses.

Faramir slowly walked up beside
the march warden �He needs the first arrows to hear where the targets are, but
only if he did not place the targets out himself� Haldir nodded �Ah�so, when he
is occupied like this�what do you�err�do with your time� Faramir blinked, surprised
at the question �Well, I play chess with chief adviser Genderel, work on my
Sindarin, practice sword fighting with my brother�I�I draw�

Haldir nodded �I also draw. I
hate chess but like cards. Perhaps you and I could�err�spar sometime. And I would
not mind seeing your drawings�do you use ink or charcoal� Faramir cleared his
throat �Well, whatever is available�I just like to draw� �Mmm, I prefer
charcoal, better for shading�

Haldir then looked down to
Faramir�s hand and raised his brow �Flowers? Are you into gardening as well?�
Faramir shook his head and laughed �Nay, I pick them for master Legolas, as a
snack. He really likes these blue ones�though I found these yellow ones that I
had not seen before, so I picked two, just to see if he likes them�

Haldir shook his head and
chuckled �Tell me Faramir�how do you feel?� The young adan furrowed his brow
�Funny you ask, I am feeling a mild headache coming on� Haldir rolled his eyes
and snatched the two yellow flowers from the bouquet and called out �Legolas�if
you wish to keep your adan around for a while, you may consider putting him
thru lessons on poisonous foliage!�

Legolas dropped his bow and ran
over �Why, what happened!� Haldir waved the two flowers before the prince�s
nose, Legolas sniffed and gasped �Nay, Faramir how do you feel?� �I am alright
master, just a mild headache� Elrond walked over �Worry not Legolas, I have the
cure�come Faramir, let us to the healing wing�Haldir, dispose of those
poisonous flowers saes�

Haldir watched as they left and
glanced to Boromir who looked on with worry �Adan Boromir, I would not fret
over your sibling, lord Elrond will have him cured� Boromir walked over �Thank
you for alerting others, I know you are in love with the prince, you could have
remained silent� Haldir wadded up the flowers in his hand �Ah, but then your
brother would have died, and Legolas would be upset. The princes happiness
means more to me, then my own selfish needs� The march warden then looked at
the tiny wad in his hand, popped them into his mouth, and walked off into the
woods.

A few hours later, Haldir spied
Legolas leavening the healing wing, heading for the kitchens. The march warden
slowly opened the door and noticed Faramir on one of the beds. Before he could
take a step, a stern looking healer blocked Haldir�s path �I am the royal
Mirkwood healer, what business have you here� Haldir smirked �Aldamir correct?
Caption Sirith�s bonded?�

The healer crossed his arms
�Nai, again, why are you here� �I am Haldir of Lorien� Aldamir sighed with
annoyance �I know who you are march warden, what do you want� �I saw the prince
leave, I came to offer my support�is he not faring well� Aldamir studied the
Lorien elf �Mmm�the shadow Faramir is doing well due to early treatment�Legolas
went to fetch some soup�

Haldir raised his brow �The
Shadow Faramir?� Aldamir relaxed some and chuckled �Ai, the warriors of
Mirkwood are quite fond of him and placed the title�most never know he is there
until the prince calls him forth, they are impressed that an adan has such an
illusive and stealthy ability�� Aldamir leaned close and whispered ��probably
honed by evading his sire and those that would use him wrongly� Haldir nodded
�I see, may I visit with him?� �Very well, but know that I will be watching�and
will end the visit if he becomes unnerved�

�How do you fair?� Faramir
looked at the Lorien elf �Better thanks to you� Haldir shook his head �Lord
Elrond would have noticed soon enough� �Nay, I was going to give master Legolas
the flowers, then head to take a bath�I would have been alone and probably
would have died� Haldir waved his hand, pulled up a chair, opened his hip
satchel and pulled out a deck of cards �Let us not speak of it any longer�you
are being treated�

Haldir looked at the door, then
back to Faramir �Prince Legolas is retrieving soup�knowing him, he will not ask
for help in carrying the trey�so�he will be a while. Would you care to play
some cards?� Faramir looked surprised �I�well sure, that would be�what do you
want Haldir� The Lorien guard smirked �To play cards, truly, I thought perhaps
you and I could�get to know one another better and�perhaps become friends�

Faramir nodded �I would like
that�would you however, do me a small favor in the interest of our new
friendship?� Haldir looked at the adan skeptically as he shuffled �And what
would this small favor be?� Faramir gently grabbed Haldir�s forearm and begged
�Please�please do not let master Legolas feed me the soup�every time he does, I
get scalded, I know he will want to, even if I am able to do it myself, please
help me� Haldir chuckled �I will see what I can do�

A short time later, Legolas
walked in, stopped, and sniffed �Haldir? Are you injured?� The blond warrior
walked over, took the trey and set it next to Faramir �Nay, I came to see how
Faramir was progressing, we have been playing cards in your absence� Legolas
smiled �Truly? You two are getting along well?� Haldir reached out, caressed
the prince�s cheek, looked back to Faramir and chuckled �Well, except for the
occasional death glare I receive when I touch you�nai, we are getting on well�

Haldir then grabbed the prince,
sat him down, and handed him his a bowl �Here prince Legolas, enjoy� �Nay
Haldir, I need to help Faramir�he is weak form the poison� The Lorien guard
glanced over just in time to see Faramir wince �Eh�you relax, I will feed him,
at least I can see that he finishes it all� Legolas bit his lip �Ath? Would you
mind if Haldir helps you?� Faramir grinned, �I do not mind master, please,
enjoy your soup, you worry to much over me�

Haldir handed Faramir the bowl,
sat on the edge of the bed, and smiled as he watched the adan happily feed
himself. The march warden reached over, collected the cards and began to
shuffle them. Legolas tilted his head as he heard Faramir eating, but Haldir
shuffling �Haldir saes, help him, he should not exert himself� �Legolas, I am
helping, I am keeping an eye on him in case he needs assistance, he is doing
just fine�trust me� Legolas lowered his gaze �I just�he is mortal, I worry�
Haldir furrowed his brow and gently placed his hand on the prince�s knee �Daro
Legolas, he is fine�
